'Fourth Doctor Arrested As Terror Probe Widens'

Dr Maroon has a go at what he calls 'not real' doctors and paints such a crude picture of us that I nearly choked on my roast swan's wing. He even resorts to juvenile name-calling, labelling us a 'shower of shite', the Nessie-bothering knob jockey.

I suppose we'll all now have to undergo re-interviews for our jobs, carefully designed to assess us for suicidal terrorist tendencies, just as we currently have to give an assurance that we're not new versions of Harold Shipman.

Mind you, some of us do behave badly. I once had a colleague who admitted to me that he'd had sex with one of his patients. I'd have reassured him that this wasn't such a bad thing if he hadn't been a forensic pathologist.Update!

"Serial killers. The golden years were the fifties to the eighties. We had Ted Bundy, Ed Gein, the Boston Strangler, Son of Sam, the Yorkshire Ripper, Jeffrey Dahmer and others. The nineties gave us Fred West and Harold Shipman, which wasn't bad. But lately? Not a peep. Come on, chaps, pull your fingers out." (Source - The Fishwhacker Swindler - a week or so ago.)

Hungbunny: your mention of prostate has me squirming, especially as the title of the post contains the words probe and widens.

Mr Knudsen: considering the number of doctors that are going to be out of work from August as a result of the government's bungled MMC (Modernising Medical Careers, or Massive Medical Cull) scheme, you may well find that lots of them retrain as plumbers.

Sam: good girl. Silence can often be the wisest course.

FS: is that the attractive lady doctor who appeared on your blog? I'd forgive her a lot of evils.
